They are, he should not be killed with humans or animals, gods or demons or any being created by him. Not to be killed day or night, inside or out side of a residence, nor on the ground or in the sky by any weapon or non living thing. With this list of clause he severely ruled whole Universe without kindness. And oblations of gods also stolen by him finally.

Then her wife with his new born son Prahlada entered in his palace. His son was devotee of Lord Vishnu. When Prahlada was in womb of his mother she was taken to Sage Narada Ashram and made to listen Lord Vishnu stories. So he was soaked in Lord Vishnu devotion. Hiranyakasipa want to brought up his child as demon but Prahlada is in deep devotion towards Lord Vishnu. His teachers, mother and father unable to abandon from spirituality.
